Mapping of visual decay forms and infrared imaging of stone structures for the maintenance and monitoring studies
Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe
Well-designed programs are necessary for the efficient maintenance and monitoring studies of stone structures. The mapping of visual decay forms and the infrared imaging of surfaces are useful methods to establish such programs for them. The studies have been performed on the 13(th) century caravanserai in Aksaray named Agzikarahan. The program started with site investigation by visual analysis of the decay forms on the stone. It involved the visual classification of the observed decay forms and their mapping on measured drawings and drawings produced from rectified photographs. The visual decay forms were classified in groups and each decay form was also evaluated as a degree of damage. The second stage was to take infrared images of the stone surfaces to produce temperature distribution maps which have further been analysed for moisture distribution in the structure. In the light of these studies, sampling has been done for the laboratory analysis. Juxtaposition of the different maps, photographs and infrared images have exhibited the present problems of the structure and their distribution and facilitated to make the immediate and long-term conservation programs.

An Investigation of material waste management in prefabricated construction industry and developing a tool for effective management of waste
Rahmani Mirshekarlou, Babak; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
In order to formulate effective waste reduction strategies in construction projects, it is essential to continuously monitor and analyze the waste generation and improve the existing processes continuously. This requires to establish a waste benchmark, based on the previous experiences in the organization, to assist the project team in taking efficient and timely actions to prevent the waste at source, and enhance the corporate waste management capability. The current study is carried out to explore the was...
Automatic Mapping of Linearwoody Vegetation Features in Agricultural Landscapes
AKSOY, SELİM; AKÇAY, HÜSEYİN GÖKHAN; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Wassenaar, Tom (2008-07-11)
Development of automatic methods for agricultural mapping and monitoring using remotely sensed imagery has been an important research problem. We describe algorithms that exploit the spectral, textural and object shape information using hierarchical feature extraction and decision making steps for automatic mapping of linear strips of woody vegetation in very high-resolution imagery. First, combinations of multispectral values and multi-scale Gabor and entropy texture features are used for training pixel le...
Biological mortar application for micro-crack remediation in stones of travertine monuments
Sırt Çıplak, Elif; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Bilecen, Kıvanç; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2018)
Traditional conservation methods for the preservation of historical stones including applications with inorganic and organic polymers are often inadequate and results in introduction of new deterioration problems to historic structures. At this point, consolidating a stone by re-creating a structure similar to original microstructure of stone is a new approach developed to ensure the maximum compatibility by comparison to the traditional conservation techniques. In this study it was aimed to develop a susta...
Use of theoretical waste inventories in planning and monitoring of hazardous waste management systems
Yilmaz, Ozge; Can, Zehra S.; Toröz, İsmail; DOĞAN, Ozgur; Oncel, Salim; Alp, Emre; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Karanfil, Tanju; Yetiş, Ülkü (2014-08-01)
Hazardous waste (HW) generation information is an absolute necessity for ensuring the proper planning, implementation, and monitoring of any waste management system. Unfortunately, environmental agencies in developing countries face difficulties in gathering data directly from the creators of such wastes. It is possible, however, to construct theoretical HW inventories using the waste generation factors (WGFs). The objective of this study was to develop a complete nationwide HW inventory of Turkey that reli...
Defining spatial distribution of storage vessels in ancient Burgaz at the fourth century B.C.
Sakarya, İlham; Tuna, Numan; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2003)
This research is an investigation of the spatial organization of household activities and especially the storage facilities in Ancient Burgaz. The four well-preserved houses at the Northeast Sector, their artefact assemblages which come from the final occupation floor level dated to the 4th century B.C., and the storage containers have been evaluated. The spatial distributions of the artefacts were studied through the use of quantitative methods with the objective of identifying storage spaces in Burgaz hou...
